The Fox and the Grapes - Italian and English (4-7 years)

This is a dual language Italian and English retelling of Aesop's Fable ' The Fox and the Grapes' which gives us the saying 'That's just sour grapes!'

This vibrantly illustrated picture book will delight children and adults alike. The Fox may be the only character in the original Aesop's fable but that doesn't prevent the illustrations from indulging in a huge supporting cast of creatures to amuse the reader. From the sassy little cat in the opening double spread to the delightful hedgehogs who take a keen interest in the Fox's dilemma, there is no shortage of activity going on around the unlucky, thirsty Fox who can't quite reach those delicious, juicy grapes.
